As joint tenants with right of survivorship, all three owners have an equal and undivided interest in the entire 15 acres of land. Therefore, in order to sell any portion of the land, all three owners would need to sign a deed transferring ownership. Hence, the purchaser would need a deed from Aaron, Bob, and Carl.
